Spinal Life Australia

In Australia one person every day sustains a traumatic and life-changing spinal cord injury.

It can cost more than $9 million to support someone after their injury. And there often isn’t enough funding to meet an individual’s needs, meaning gaps in service provision, or isolation from the community.

At Spinal Life Australia we understand physical disability, and the challenges families must cope with on a daily basis.

Our specialist therapies, support, employment and advocacy services are nationally recognised for bringing possibility back into people’s lives.

We are there from the time a person is first injured, providing useful experience, advice and guidance through our Peer Support program. That support continues during a person’s journey from hospital to home, and beyond.

We are committed to being there throughout a person’s lifetime, ensuring they can live independently, return to work, maintain social networks and live a life of quality.
